Bazzukulu ba Yuda abalala baali Pereezi, ne Kezulooni, ne Kalumi, ne Kuuli ne Sobali.

2 And Reaiah the son of Shobal begot Jahath; and Jahath begot Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites.

3 And these were the sons of the father of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazlelponi;

9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying: 'Because I bore him with pain.'

Yabezi yali wa kitiibwa okusinga baganda be, ne nnyina n’amutuuma erinnya Yabezi amakulu nti, “Namuzaalira mu bulumi.”

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying: 'Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that Thy hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest work deliverance from evil, that it may not pain me!' And God granted him that which he requested.

Yabezi n’akoowoola Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Ompeere ddala omukisa, ogaziye ensalo yange! Omukono gwo gubeere wamu nange, gunkuume obutagwa mu kabi konna, nneme okulumwa mu mutima.” Katonda n’addamu okusaba kwe.

13 And the sons of Kenaz: Othniel, and Seraiah; and the sons of Othniel: Hathath.

Batabani ba Kenazi baali Osuniyeri ne Seraya. Batabani ba Osuniyeri baali Kasasi ne Myonosaayi.

14 And Meonothai begot Ophrah; and Seraiah begot Joab the father of Ge-harashim; for they were craftsmen.

21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, and Ladah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;

22 and Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had dominion in Moab, and Jashubi-lehem. And the records are ancient.

Yokimu ye yali jjajja w’abasajja ab’e Kozeba, ne Yowaasi ne Salafu abaafuganga Mowaabu ne Yasubirekemu. (Ebigambo bino bya mu biseera bya dda).

23 These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plantations and hedges; there they dwelt occupied in the king's work.

Abo be baali ababumbi b’ensuwa abaabeeranga e Netayimu n’e Gedera, era baabeeranga mu lubiri lwa kabaka nga bamukolera.

26 And the sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.

Mutabani wa Misuma yali Kammweri, eyazaala Zakkuli, nga ate jjajja wa Simeeyi.

27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children of Judah.

Simeeyi yalina abaana aboobulenzi kumi na mukaaga n’aboobuwala mukaaga, naye baganda be tebalina baana bangi, ekika kyabwe kyekyava tekyala nnyo ng’ekya Yuda.

28 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual;

Babeeranga mu Beeruseba, ne Molada, ne Kazalusuwali,

29 and at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad;

ne Biruka, ne Ezemu, ne Toladi,

30 and at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag;

ne Besweri, ne Koluma, ne Zikulagi,

31 and at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

ne Besumalukabosi, ne Kozalususimu, ne Besubiri ne Saalayimu. Bino byali bibuga byabwe okutuusa Dawudi lwe yalya obwakabaka.

32 And their villages were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities;

Ebyalo byabwe ebirala byali Etamu, ne Ayini, ne Limmoni, ne Tokeni ne Asani, byonna awamu by’ebitaano,

33 and all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal. These were their habitations, and they have their genealogy.

38 these mentioned by name were princes in their families; and their fathers' houses increased greatly.

Abo aboogeddwako baali bakulu ba bika byabwe. Ennyumba zaabwe ne zeeyongera nnyo.

39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

Be basenguka okwolekera omulyango gwa Gedoli ekiri ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba lw’ekiwonvu, nga banoonya aw’okulundira ebisibo byabwe.

40 And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they that dwelt there aforetime were of Ham.

Baalaba omuddo omugimu omulungi, n’ensi yali ngazi, ng’erimu emirembe era nga nteefu. Bazzukulu ba Kaamu be baaberangamu edda.

41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the Meunim that were found there, and destroyed them utterly, unto this day, and dwelt in their stead; because there was pasture there for their flocks.

Abasajja abo aboogeddwako baaliwo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda, era baalumba eweema za bazzukulu ba Kaamu n’Abamewuni abaabeeranga omwo ne babazikiririza ddala, obutalekaawo muntu n’omu wadde ekintu kyonna. Ne babeeranga omwo kubanga waaliyo omuddo ogw’okuwa ebisibo byabwe.

42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

Awo abamu ku batabani ba Simyoni, abasajja enkumi ttaano nga bakulembeddwamu Peratiya, ne Neyaliya, ne Lefaya ne Wuziyeeri batabani ba Isi ne balumba Seyiri ensi ey’ensozi.

43 And they smote the remnant of the Amalekites that escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.

Era baazikiriza n’ekitundu ky’Abamaleki ekyali kisigaddewo, oluvannyuma ne basenga eyo, okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
